The Vanderpump Rules actress also addressed several of Rachel's claims made in Bethenny’s podcast and accused the former RHONY Star of "exploit[ing] Rachel".

Lala KENT weighs in on Rachel Leviss 's now infamous podcast interview with Bethenny Frankel.

The Vanderpump Rules actress shared her thoughts in a podcast episode on Wednesday, entitled Give Them Lala, about Rachel (former Raquel's) appearance on Bethenny’s podcast Just B with Bethenny, as well as her decision to not return to Bravo's series Season 11 following Scandoval.

It is a tragedy that she did not come back. She should have returned. I won't say more because we are in production. Lala, 32 said, "I think she would have surprised her." "But instead, she did this [podcast] with Bethenny and was once again manipulated."

Rachel claimed that Ariana and she "were not the best of friends"despite her being portrayed in this way.

Lala slammed Rachel's claims as "blatant nonsense."

She said, "She was saying things at the time that were not in perspective." "It's a lie and I don't believe you."

Lala also called Rachel's claim BS that Lala, Katie Maloney and Kristina Kel called Rachel "reality television ratings gold" when they were on their girls trip in Las Vegas.

Lala replied, "That's never happened." "Raquel, that night, after she said '[It is] a good thing you don’t have a male,' went into her bedroom and went to sleep. It was the first we saw her. The next day, when she came into our room to sit down and feel embarrassed, it was you guys who had seen her.

We came in her room and said she was "reality TV rating gold." This is not a perspective, but a fact. This is a fact. This is a fact. Ever."

Lala's initial reaction was to Rachel using Bethenny’s podcast to share her side of story. Lala admitted she had only seen "clips" of the three part interview. She accused Bethenny, however, of "manipulating" Rachel and "exploit[ing]".

"I've seen this time and again that our voices will be all we have at times. Lala stated that we have all had the opportunity to speak on a stage, whether it was ours or someone else's. "Raquel has every right to do that, and I'm happy she was able to use a huge platform to share her story." I saw only clips, and from what I could gather I think Bethenny exploited the girl again."

She said: "To me she sat down and said, You know what? This girl will be easy to manipulate... This is the perfect way to include her in the story I am trying to create. It was really sad for me because I liked Bethenny."

Lala continued to say that "reality television" isn't "for everyone" and "if [you] aren't mentally tough, it can break (you). It certainly can."

She added, "Now I do not know what Raquel suffered from. "I know that you chose to sleep with the partner of your best friend -- she claims they were not close -- for 10 years. You did not have to do it. You weren't forced to do anything and nobody asked you to. "I felt Bethenny really was trying to push her into a particular direction."
